Application nieuwe e, 190e `sarai Nt. ranma4 To all whom it may concern: K

Be it. known that I, LrNoo-N SHrRM-An DistrUrH, a citizeny of the United States, ref siding at Cincinnati, in the county 'of Hamilton and. State ofOhi'o, have invented certain new and useful ImprovementsI in Pipeo'r- Hose Couplings', of which the following-israspeciiication', referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawing,

This invention relates to a pipe o ose coupling, and has forits object, the const-mic? tion of a peculiar devicegfor facilitating- 'the-- attachment of a nozzle to the body"'portil`o'rr--.A

or for'the attachment of twopieces of. ipe

cure joint.A I .I

Another object of the invention-iszthc y struction of a .comparatively simple -and iii- .expensive device for coupling pipelsectionsA or pipes or hose together, in a comparatively short time, and in construeting'the' device, I'

Y l?! ith these and other section or nozzle.- Fig. i is anendrview of the primary casing.

5 is a tranaverse', sectional view of the .primarycasin'g looklng.,

' at one end, and showing the inner end ofthe nozzle or detachable section. i 'i Referring to the drawings. numerals, 1` designates, referably, Ia cylindrical primary '.casing, whlc 1 is provided at oneend'with an internal threaded portion'2 and at its 0ppo'-l .site end with a pair of oppositely positioned,

inwardly-eXtending segments or `lugsg3 eachlug is provided, preferably, near itsIcenter with an inwardly-extending pin or stopft. The pin or stop 4 extends. beyond the inner wall ofthe inwardlyeextending lug 3.

' The inner casing or male memberL 5 is pro- 5o' yided, at 6, with an annular pocket or socket) in which-extends one 'end of the coil spring l' 7 the s ring 7 being mounted upon` the hollow bo y Sjof the hollow section or male `member 5.- The inner, hollow section or lmember 5 isl p referably,threaded, at 9, upon its outer end, for receiving either an ordinary screw-threaded collar' ory pipe, as indicated,

bydottedlines 10, or ana-ordinary rubber` 4 v pipexma-y l,beiplaced upon the `'tllri-ia-ded-end,

and' fastened thereto for connecting thel same' .totheA coupler. The annular-portion11 of the/.inner Vmember 5' is' screw-threaded upon 'its-'outerfacefor." permitting' the same -tobev i fitted-into the .threaded portion 2 ofthe primaryc'asing 1.4 The'hollow 'portion 8.0i

the inliei"4 section. vor mein-ber 5,' preferably,

extends' beyond the opposite-'vend of'` thea primaryv casin -toqthatprovided withs the screw-threa s, when the `inner member 5 f Slidably mounted upon the hollow body portion 8.0i' the inner, detachable. section.,V issleevea12; which is' partly closed at its inner. end and open'at its outer Iend for re `ceiving the inner end of. the detachable secl,tion or nozzle 13. Positioned between the inncrend of the nozzle l'and the inner end -ofthe sleeve 12', is a suitable, yield able packing 14, which may be formed ofrubber or any other material for' reducing-a tight joint; the spring 7 norma ly exerts a powerful pressure against lthe inner or rear end of the.substantially-cup-sha ed sleeve 12, and,

therefore, forces the jpac 'ngtight against the'inner'end of' the nozzlewhen said nozzle is positioned within the-primary casing 1, as shown in Fig. 2. Of course, it isto be understood that I do not necessarily limit my invention to anozzle, for thenozzle constitutes a detachable section, whereby any other pipe or hose, Y

as indicatedb' dotted lines 15, may be assembled with t e outer endof the nozzle, lior -A' ,connecting two sections of pipe or-hose, indicated byysaid dotted lines 10 -and 15 together, although, ofcourse, it 'will be obvious that my device provides simplfinean's for attaching nozzles to `times necessary.

The hollow detachable section 13 ispro' 'I vided at op `osite sides with'pairs of lat`erally.v

4 extending ugs 16, which `are formed by means of a slit or bifurcated portion 17,-

partly separating the lugs 16; therefore, it 105` Awill be seen that4 the lugs 16 are formed .by a

bifurcat'edpiece, preferably, upon diametric'- ally o posite'portions of the nozzle .or detacha le section.

lTo attach the detachable'section or nozzle 110 primary cas-ing 'are assembled, as'

the casing 1, as is some- '13., it will be necessary tol insert the inner end thereof into the casing 1 over the body portion 8 of the inner hollow section 5, and the bifurcatedportions 'of lugs 16 are passed between ends 1S of the inwardly-extending lugs or extensions 3, and then causing the `inner end ofthe nozzle 13 to engage the pack-A ing and depress the spring 7 until the lugs 16 are far enough within the casing l1 lto be rotated for permitting the pins or inwardlyvextending stops-16 to" be positioned in the bifurcated portion or socket 17 for securely fastening the nozzle or section against accidental' displacement.V To remoye the section onnozzle,the` operator will have topress inward upon the. nozzle or hollow secs l .tion suliiciently Ato remove the pins or stops ler, or ffor attaching sections or hose orV pipes together, as hereinbefore spe'ciiically casing e will be noted that Ihave provided a' very eflcientand simple-dastening device forv from within the vbifurcated `portion,j andthereby permit the lugs to be rotated, until they'register with the open spaces between the ends ofv the inwardly-extending seg-l ments or lugs 3, whereupon the hollow section 13 can be quickly detached from the the detachable section, for it will.' be iinpossible to. accidentally remove `the nozzle or hollow section by any foreign object coming indirect contact with vthe fixed stops or inwardly-extending vpins 4, as would befthe case with a bayonet joint structure, or a device having a pinor lugmounted upon the detachable section and exposed to view, or whichmay be engagedvfromthe outside.-V

Myvdevice may .be used asa nozzle coupdescribed.A

' What I claim is:

1.Y In a device of the character'described, the combination of a primary casing, .an inner, hollow casing positioned in said p ri-` mary casing, saidjprimary casing provided with inwardly-extending segm'ents, each segment'provided with a stop "extending longitudinallyl of the casing, a detachable section provided with laterally-extending bifurcated portion, mounted upon the inner section,'

the stops positioned in the bifurcated portions, and means exerting pressure upon said I detachable section for preventing accidental displacementofits vbifurc'ated portions fromV enga ement "with the stops. v 1 2.; na device of kthe character described,

the combination ,oit l'a f cylindrical primary -ber provided with a hollow body extending beyond one end of said casing, a` detachablel member slidably mounted upon the-ext ended end of said body, lsaid detachable member provided with a pairfof' laterally-extendingbifurcated portions producing lugs spaced apart attheir upper ends, the stops normally' positioned in theibii'urcated portions oi said extensions, a slidable-sleeve mounted upon the hollow body, a packing insaid sleeve` and engaging the inner ends oi' said detachable member, a spring. positioned at one end within .the annular threaded portion of the vsection and having its opposite end bearing i against the inner end of, the sleeve for holding the packing tightly against the inner end ci the detachable member.

y 3. a' device of the character described, the combination with a primaryr casing, prei vided at one-,end .with inwardly extending segments, each segment p1oviderl'-ivi-tli' longitudinally extending stop, said primary casing provided with ahollow body extending beyond .one end of said casing, a detachable member slidably mounted upon said extending end of said body, said.v detachable *member provided with a' pair of laterally ex- Q tendingbifurcated portions producing lugs, said longitudinally extending stops lnormally' positioned in the bifurcated portions oi said extensions, a slidable substantially cupshaped sleeve `mounted upon rthe hollow body; a yieldable packing positioned in said fcup-shaped sleeve and engaging the inner end of. said detachable sections, and means p ositioiiedin said primary lcasing and havingone end bearing v'against one end of said cupshaped sleeve for normally holding the packying tightly against the end ofthe detachable member.

, )In testimony whereof I hereunto my signature in presence of two witnesses.
